Dear God,

This morning as I watched the darkness slowly give way to the light revealing a beautiful landscape, I thought about how prayer works the same way. When a heart is troubled, the scene is completely hidden or murky at best.  As we pray waiting and watching, your spirit begins to move and we are enabled to see ever so slightly.  As we trust more and more taking steps of faith, the picture begins to clear and finally we are able to see completely.

Such views have the power to teach us lessons of faith.  You take an ordinary occurrence (what's ordinary about you), the night giving way to the day and you design it to be an extraordinary moment of insight.  You remind us that faith is a living reality not just a set of dry, lifeless beliefs.  You show us how every day is filled with extraordinary moments no matter the situation or condition.  You invite us to join you in an extraordinary life simply by walking with you daily.  Thank you for allowing me to join you early this morning.

Almighty God,
thank you,
thank you,
thank you.

Love, Andrea
